Sometimes you feel like a nut!

Have you ever gone through old snapshots and found some treasures? This was one of those days at my house!

Teeth, spiders and mold!

This morning, with teething baby nestled snuggly in the laundry basket, I ventured outside to hang up a load of baby clothes on my newly installed clothesline. As I hung up my little one's clothes I noticed a spider web.  I inspected it and then began to investigate.  What did I find? About 10 spider webs holding approximately 7 tiny black widow spiders!  After a bit of research, I discovered that the best way to eliminate them was to whack them with a rolled up newspaper.  I also discovered that the white stuff I found yesterday on my squash meant I would have to cut of some of the leaves.  Once things settled down and it was time for my hubby to get up for work, I decided it was high-time to get out there and take my my porch garden!  I left my boy in the care of his father, gather my newspaper and clippers and set off on my leaf-trimming, spider-whacking adventure!  I searched out the spiders and whomped them without a cringe.  If you have ever seen me kill a spider or bug you know it NEVER involves squashing...more likely an aerosol can, so this was a huge accomplishment for me.  Next it was on to conquer the moldy squash leaves.  In less than 15 minutes I had conquered two garden foes! Maybe this is going to turn out to be a good day after all!  Now to conquer those teeth...
